The Oklahoma City Thunder can't seem to turn around their current slump. OKC has lost four games in a row, and has a 4-6 record in their last 10 games. Their negative streak of the Thunder has coincided with great basketball by the Spurs, Clippers, and Trail Blazers, causing Oklahoma City to tumble in the Western Conference standings.
Just a month ago, the Thunder were sitting in third place in the West, with a comfortable lead over the Rockets, and Blazers. Now, OKC finds themselves in fifth place, tied with teams in 6th-8th place.
The West could not be any closer. With the Thunder, Spurs, Jazz, and Clippers all tied with the same win percentage so far, the four teams are all deadlocked in the standings. This tightness means that any of these four teams have the possibility to be as high as the fifth place position, or as low as eighth place.
The hottest team of the bunch is the Spurs. San Antonio has a 9-1 record in the last 10 games, and are a team that seems to be peaking at the perfect time of the season. The Spurs have flourished at home, and are repping the second best home court record in the Western Conference, going 29-8 in 37 home games.
The Clippers have turned it up lately as well. Overshadowing the LA Lakers yet again, the Clippers have found a way to make the postseason, even after trading away their most productive player in Tobias Harris mid-season. The Clips have hit their stride recently as well, as LA is riding a three game win streak, winning eight of their last 10 games.
Expect more fireworks in the West as this hypercompetitive conference comes to a close in the next coming weeks.

2003 | Photograph on Canvas | Size: 40" x 60"
Sometimes photographer Jerry Klein '60 goes to great heights — the mountains of Alaska, say, or the Himalayas — to capture his subjects. But "Tiger Mountain Sunrise" was an easier shot. One morning, outside the door of his 1872 home in Issaquah, Washington, he saw sunlight piercing through branches, then ran for his camera.
About half of Klein's work consists of architectural/aerial photography. The rest focuses on subjects in nature. Photographing wildflowers — like the unusual fringed grass of Parnassus — is his particular passion.
Klein's wife, Cindy, has created a garden on their property that borders Issaquah Creek, between Tiger and Squak mountains. Passersby often stop and ask to wander through. From his studio on the property, the former materials scientist at Eastman Kodak now works full time as a freelancer at his craft. With home sales in a slump, Klein says he and Cindy, a realtor, have more time to spend on work they enjoy together: renovating the studio. Cindy has perfected the stretching of cloth canvasses for his photographs.

It is a completely different mixture, but the flavour is truly amazing. To eliminate wastage we recommend eating the Tropical Pulse with a spoon if the crumbs are an issue for you.

Avoiding the Climate Catastrophe Starts With Divesting From the War Machine
The time has come to divest from the war machine and withdraw our public dollars from weapons corporations.
Jodie Evans
Here we are, a full three decades after NASA scientist James Hansen raised the specter of a looming climate crisis with Congress, looking at the first generation of severely impacted youth and telling them they're right: We have completely squandered their future. For too long, our dominant culture has practiced unsustainable growth and consumption, ushering in the end of a habitable planet and with it civilization as we know it. Those most impacted are the communities who have contributed the least to climate change, a direct extension of the settler colonization project that has unfolded across the globe over hundreds of years.
We are encouraged by intersectional organizing, and thrilled that Jane is connecting the dots that link militarism, weapons corporations, migration, and the climate crisis.
Jane Fonda and her Fire Drill Fridays are linking social movements across issues, eyeing the connections between the myriad problems we see causing climate chaos, many of them rooted in capitalist consumer culture. From the need to tease apart incarceration from profit to outrage at our treatment of asylum-seekers at our southern border, we've witnessed rapid wins in the movement to divest public dollars from the private prison industry after years of hard work behind the scenes. The same asylum-seekers who are fleeing nations ravaged by wars and conflicts—many driven directly by U.S. policy—and the impacts of climate crisis are being held in appalling conditions in concentration camps and prisons, many of them run by the private prison industry. We are encouraged by intersectional organizing, and thrilled that Jane is connecting the dots that link militarism, weapons corporations, migration, and the climate crisis. We are clear on the impact: the Pentagon is the single largest consumer of oil on the planet, but the nationwide call for a Green New Deal has not yet given attention to our military spending as either a massive driver of the climate crisis that cannot be ignored, nor as a source of much-needed funding for a project as massive as the Green New Deal.
Movements to divest from the military and movements to divest from fossil fuels often face the same bad actors. Recent actions targeting the massive asset manager BlackRock are drawing attention to their investments in companies behind Amazon deforestation. Investing in these companies undermines our ability to maintain a livable planet, namely by destroying the forests that are the lungs of the earth in the Amazon basin. Here at CODEPINK, we have also given considerable attention to BlackRock because they are the world's top investor in weapons manufacturers, but even this more explicitly anti-war action connects to the climate crisis. The same weapons that are used in wars and conflicts all over the world are a crucial component of the war machine that makes up a significant portion of the Pentagon's fossil fuel use—the U.S. military has released 1.2 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases since the start of the global war on terror in 2001. Moreover, those same weapons are a major factor in conflicts that lead to migration by asylum-seekers—weapons that are in turn produced by corporations that are propped up by our public dollars, to the detriment of our communities. When our public institutions invest public money in weapons corporations like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman, they are underpinning the war machine that draws public dollars away from projects benefiting our communities and puts them into an already bloated defense budget. There is a clear thread running from the Pentagon budget to weapons corporations to our impoverished communities to migrants fleeing wars and drought to greenhouse gas emissions driving the climate crisis. Imagine a snake consuming its own body: that is the war machine's connection to climate breakdown. We must begin rapidly removing our public dollars from the war machine if we are to save humanity and the planet—which, like the climate crisis and the war machine, cannot be separated.
The time has arrived to build the next big divestment movement made up of people coming together across the planet to divest from the war machine—by withdrawing our public dollars from weapons corporations and putting them into local needs, including local green new deals, housing, health care, and education. The path to divestment has been laid by successful movements before ours; it is paved with the South African Apartheid regime, with coal and gas extraction companies, with gun manufacturers and tobacco companies, and with the private prison industry. The opportunities for divestment from the war machine abound. Cities, public pension funds, and university endowments invest public dollars in private corporations that often include weapons corporations, and elected public servants often accept campaign contributions from weapons-makers. Together we can demand that they divest because it is morally unacceptable to build our communities on top of global conflicts. At the same time, we must demand that we instead invest our public resources in projects that positively impact our communities, starting first with a rapid response to the climate crisis that is exacerbated by endless wars.
Join Jane Fonda Thursday night, November 7, for her teach-in on the connections between war and climate chaos. On Friday, I will bring this message to the Fire Drill Friday rally on the east lawn of the U.S. Capitol to call on all of us to engage to Divest from War. We will then march to the White House to call out the current resident who just took steps to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Join in person or on the Fire Drill Friday livestream.

Q: jQuery/JS table dump to cookie Basicly i have to read content of HTML table and save this date in cookie. And next red this cookie to refill this same table ater page reload (in first table is generated in jquery)
So I have a HTML table

Name1
Value1

Name2
Value2

to save cookie i use
document.cookie = 'orderArray = '+table;

I have to save in cookie content of his cells in form:
name1:value1;name2:value2

If I will get this form of dump next I can explod in php to refill table. So, How make dump of this HTML table to this form or may some one have better idea?

A: I would suggest you to use localStorage feature of html5 in stead of cookie.
get your table data and put it into an array. then store it in localstorage like.
var values = getTableData(); // this should return the array
window.localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(values));
to retrieve data
var values = JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem(key));
again localStorage has more advantage than cookie

A: I can't use HTML5 features because I have to support IE8 :/.
But i solved this problem.
First I making an jQuery array. Next converting this to string using .toString() function and finally save to cookie.
    orderArray = [];
    var data = new Date();
    var days = 1;
    date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
    expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
    jQuery('table tr').each(function(){
        var name = jQuery(this).find('.sec').text();
        var qty = jQuery(this).find('input').attr('value');
        orderArray.push(name+"^"+qty);
    });
    document.cookie = 'orderArray = /'+orderArray.toString()+'/;'+expires;

I used slashes and certs in cookie data to easy read data after use .split() function
    table = document.cookie.split("/");
    table = table[1].split(',');
    arrayInsert = 0;
        table.each(function(){
            tablee = table[arrayInsert].split("^");
            countOrderItems++
            jQuery('table tbody').append('
'+tablee[0]+'	<input type="text" value="'+tablee[1]+'">	<
');
            arrayInsert++;
        });

I hope it's will be helpful for some else to :).
P.S. I made code litle shorter/simplest than in my page. I hope I didn't miss any piece of code

SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Crossover Team
Polish group Millenium are back with their twelfth studio album, and I think I've been fortunate enough to have reviewed eleven of them, with just the 1999 debut missing. At the time of their last release, 2014's 'In Search Of The Perfect Melody', they were moving from drummer Tomasz Paśko to Grzegorz Bauer, who is now a full-time member of the band. Also, saxophonist Dariusz Rybka who appeared as a guest on that album is also now a full member as the band have become a six-piece. They should actually have gone the whole hog and added one more as guest singer Karolina Leszko again had a major role to play, even taking some lead vocals as well as duetting with Łukasz "Gall" Gałęziowsk. Łukasz has of course been there since the very beginning, as has band leader Ryszard Kramarski who provides keyboards and acoustic guitar. The line-up is completed with Piotr Płonka (guitars) and Krzysztof Wyrwa (bass, Warr guitar).
It perhaps isn't surprising that a band which has been around as long as these guys, and has released so many albums, is packed full of confidence which really comes through in their music. They have long been one of my favourite Polish bands, and with this album they have turned up the quality just that little bit more. Łukasz has always been a great singer, while Ryszard knows what to write to get the best out of everyone, but here there has been quite a dramatic shift. Karolina has a wonderful voice, providing great harmonies or additional leads, while Dariusz definitely adds to the melodic sound of the band with some great sax. However, it isn't there all the time, but brought in at the right times, which means that it is always delivered with real impact.
There is quite a Floydian feel to some of this, and there is also a real affinity with Damanek. To my ears this is the highlight of their career to date, an album which is packed full of quality and wonderful music. Simply superb.

Erysimum croceum M. Pop. (Brassicaceae) is an endemic species, growing only in Trans-Ili Alatau. It is included into Kazakhstan Red Data Book. The aim of this study is to compare two populations of Erysimum croceum M.Pop identified in Trans-Ili Alatau region, for which morphological and ecologicalanalysis was undertaken. Plant communities of the 1st population growing in Small Almaty gorge (N43*06.316', E077* 04.184') are dominated by indigenous plants with a significant proportion of endemic taxa, while the 2nd population from the Big Almaty gorge (N43* 04.790', E076* 59.512') is growing in subruderal positions with the presence of other plants. Statistical analysis of the morphological traits revealed significant differences between the two populations. In this article summary on comparative analysis of the main features of morphological and anatomical structures of endemic species Erysimum croceum is given. To identify the cause of its disappearance we studied seed germination and growth of seedlings. Seedgermination is low and only reaches 18 %. Morphological structure of seedlings on the 45th day showed overall length of sprouts 6.67±3.84 cm, hypocotyl length 1.12±0.06 cm, root length 5.49±3.57 cm, leaves length 0.39±0.63 cm, and leaves width 0.2±0.2 cm. The anatomical features of Erysimum croceum were defined. Stem diameter in Erysimum сroceum collected from the 1st population equals to 1052.92±11.7 μm, epidermis thickness – 25±0.9 μm, primary cortex thickness – 96.24±0.6 μm, core diameter – 796.51±5.9 μm. Stem diameter in Erysimum сroceum collected from the 2nd population equals to 996.38±9.8 μm, epidermis thickness – 21±0.7 μm, primary cortex thickness – 80.98±0.4 μm, center circle diameter – 701.59±8.7 μm. Anatomical sections of rhizome and leaf were compared on virginal and generative stages, while the stem was studied only at generative stage. Main specification into the inner structure is designated by accumulation of sclerenchyma between conducting bundles in central cylinder and alternative location of small and large bundles.

Cold weather struck Oxford, which has turned Miami a into a swarm of parkas and shivering students. Where would we all be without our trusty parkas to keep us warm during our walks to class? However, I would never consider my parka stylish. Thankfully, the fashion world offers an alternative option: wrap coats.
Although wrap coats could never replace the warmth and comfort of our beloved parkas, they can still keep you warm while also making you look stylish. Wrap coats, especially pastel ones, elevate any winter outfit by making it look sophisticated and chic. They can flatter any body type, as well. This Salvatore Ferragamo coat, worn by Olivia Pope on 'Scandal,' caught my eye because the light pink adds a touch of color to a winter outfit comprised of dark clothes.
The bad news is that this coat costs over $1,000 and has sold out. But, on the bright side, you can find similar cute and cheaper styles from other stores! I love these Forever 21 options below because they're much cheaper, but also because of the colors. The light colors of both coats contrast with the dark color palette associated with winter clothes and brighten up any outfit. I also like the second Forever 21 option because it's longer, which adds more warmth to the coat! Both coats can be worn with or without the attached belt. This also allows you to tie the belt to fit you perfectly.
For more variety, stores like Nordstrom and Asos offer many different options, but they fall on the more expensive side. However, I definitely think that these coats are worth the splurge. They keep you warm and can add a pop of color or pattern to your winter outfits. Also, for more dupes on Olivia Pope's style, check out The Scandal Collection at The Limited.

We normally ship seed orders within 3 to 16 days, depending on the workload and if we have to obtain and process and run germination tests on new seeds. All USA seed orders have the same $2.95 charge for shipping/handling. International orders all have the same $6.65 shipping cost, make sure that all items are allowed for importation into your country before ordering.
Shipping and processing costs have greatly increased over the last two years but we are maintaining the same shipping rate of $2.95 for all US seed orders. We will ship seeds worldwide but the shipping charges that the Post office now charges forces us to increase International shipping to $6.65 US, which covers the cost of the postage. For international orders, please understand and obey your countries restrictions for importation of seeds. All international orders are marked as "Horticulture Seeds" or contain the scientific name of the species shipped. Most Countries will have a restricted list of plants and seeds, which may be found at the countries Agriculture authorities website.
We try to obtain the best seeds we can and the amount listed as the amount of seeds is the minimum seed contained in a packet- most will have more, if a seed lot has a germination less than 70-80 percent we will include extra seed.
If you have questions about seed quality- please let us know and we will test the seed and obtain new seed and replace any seed that is found to be defective in germination. We do not guarantee success with any seed sold, because a number of the seeds have very specialized conditions that need to be meet before germination and it is outside of our control if those conditions have been meet. We offer a number of more difficult to germinate seeds, which many seed companies do not offer because they are a greater challenge to germinate or to grow. Because of this it is a trade-off between a 100 percent blanket guarantee and a limited one. In no cases will we be responsible for more than the cost of the seed sold.

ASPECT Studios has completed a multi-use trail at Narrabeen Lagoon on Sydney's northern beaches. The lagoon is one of Sydney's natural assets and is a major drawcard and focal point of the area. Diverse experiences are on offer at different locations around the lagoon. The eastern side comes to life especially at the weekends as people take to the water in kayaks and swimming, or strolling and pausing at cafes, restaurants and the bustling Sunday market. The western side of the circuit, which ASPECT Studios have designed, offers a tranquil bush experience. The new trail provides a multi-layered recreational facility and safe shared trail for pedestrians and cyclists to enhance the existing trail and facilitate the area.
ASPECT Studios was commissioned by Warringah Council to design and document a new multi-use trail for Narrabeen Lagoon. The walk spans from Deep Creek to Middle Creek. The client, Warringah Council in collaboration with Pittwater Council has been striving for many years to bring this project to fruition in order to complete a circuit around Narrabeen Lagoon. This will greatly enhance the community's recreation experience. The area of the project scope was in parts accessible and consisted of a variety of conditions mostly in a state of disrepair.
A new timber and fibreglass panelled boardwalk has been designed, with seating and a series of lookout points which take you from the bush to the lagoon edge. A new pedestrian/cycle bridge at Deep Creek has recently been installed. The trail provides access for everyone including wheelchair users, recreational cyclists, pedestrians and dog walkers. When completed, the trail will allow for diverse groups of users to enjoy the lagoon and surrounding bushland for a range of experiences. These range from fi tness to relaxation through walking, cycling or jogging, family picnics, for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. This recreation circuit will become regionally signifi cant, similar in visitation and importance to the people of the northern beaches as the Bondi to Coogee walk is to the eastern suburbs.
The first portion of trail provides a benchmark for the materials, construction methods and fine detailing which can be adopted in the subsequent stages of trail construction. Material selection is sustainable, low maintenance, durable and appropriate for its bushland setting. The design intent is to create a consistent and robust boardwalk with simple design and construction method with more design emphasis given to the lagoon lookouts which are sequentially spread along the walk. The lagoon look outs are unique sculptural elements that provide opportunities to rest and view out to the lagoon. This gives a new spatial experience to being at the water's edge.

Vanderbilt's potential bowl destinations after Tennessee win
Tennessee missed field goal as Vanderbilt beat #17 Tennessee 45-34 at Vanderbilt Stadium November 26, 2016. Photo by Ziyi Liu.
Cutler Klein, Sports Editor
With a decisive 45-34 win over the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday, the Vanderbilt Commodores threw away all of the convoluted and headache-inducing five-win bowl scenarios and clinched a bowl berth the traditional way.
Now, Commodore players and fans have to wait to hear which bowl game they'll play in.
The Southeastern Conference has 11 bowl eligible teams for 10 bowl tie-ins plus the College Football Playoff (presumably where Alabama is going). In order to decide which teams go to which games, there is a tiered ranking of bowl games, and, in theory, better teams get to go to the better games.
The two bottom-tier SEC bowl games are the Birmingham Bowl on December 29 in Birmingham, Alabama, vs. an American Athletic Conference team and the Camping World Independence Bowl on December 26 in Shreveport, Louisiana, vs. an ACC team.
With Vanderbilt and South Carolina as the only 6-6 bowl-eligible teams, it seems likely that they will be going to these bottom-tier SEC games. Each has an outside shot at a higher-up bowl, like the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, but that would be unlikely.
Here's where the major College Football sites have Vanderbilt bowling:
CBS Sports:
Birmingham Bowl vs. Tulsa
SB Nation:
Independence Bowl vs. North Carolina State
NBC Sports:
Birmingham Bowl vs. Houston
247Sports:
Birmingham Bowl vs. Memphis
Campus Insiders:
Independence Bowl vs. Wake Forest
SEC Country:
Sporting News:
Sports Illustrated:
Fox Sports:
ESPN:
Mark Schlabach: Birmingham Bowl vs. South Florida
Brett McMurphy: Independence Bowl vs. Wake Forest
So it appears the experts are conflicted as to which bowl Vanderbilt will go to, but they seem to have settled on either the Birmingham or Independence Bowl. From a Vanderbilt perspective, the Birmingham Bowl would be the preferred game for a number of reasons, but may not be the one they get.
The Birmingham Bowl is very close to Nashville (a quick two-and-a-half-hour drive down I-65), is in a bigger city and takes place on a much better date that is further away from Christmas. It will be easier for Commodore fans to travel a short distance well after Christmas than have to drive all day on Christmas to Shreveport for a bowl game on the 26th. Vanderbilt would have a much bigger presence at the Birmingham Bowl than at the Independence Bowl.
A berth in the Birmingham Bowl would also allow a lot more students to attend the game. Students that want to attend the game but don't live in the Southeast would be able to fly to Nashville, stay in their dorms (if they fill out the appropriate paperwork) and drive down to Birmingham either the night before or day of the game. The only way to get to Shreveport from outside the Southeast is through a convoluted connecting flight.
So it's clear that Vanderbilt should be rooting for a bid from the Birmingham Bowl. However, because it is the objectively better bowl, some may argue that South Carolina, a bigger school with a larger fan base, should and will get preference over Vanderbilt for that bowl.
While that might be true, Vanderbilt's proximity advantage will likely outweigh any population advantage South Carolina might have. Because Nashville is so close to Birmingham, Vanderbilt's fan turnout could be around equal to a South Carolina turnout.
On top of that, South Carolina might actually be able to sell more tickets to the Independence Bowl than Vanderbilt. Let's say only 30 percent of potential attendees for both Vanderbilt and South Carolina would be able or willing to make the trip to Shreveport on Christmas Day to attend a bowl game the next day. Because South Carolina has a larger group of potential attendees, a 30 percent draw for it sells more tickets than a 30 percent draw for Vanderbilt.
This is why the Commodore program should do everything it can to convince the Shreveport officials to pick the Gamecocks and the Birmingham officials to pick Vanderbilt. Postseason bowl games are big moneymakers more than anything. When something like a national title isn't on the line, profits have to make a difference in selecting bowl teams.
Based on the rationale above, the Independence Bowl would make more money by inviting South Carolina and the Birmingham Bowl would make more money by inviting Vanderbilt. Of course, the bowl organizers might not see it that way, so it still really is a toss-up between the two bowl games for Vanderbilt.
Either way, Vanderbilt should be thrilled to be in a bowl game. But, for everything else, Birmingham should, and could, be the ideal destination.

Additional support services for First Australians in Narrogin and Northam
By Bethany Findlay | September 26, 2017 | Comments Off on Additional support services for First Australians in Narrogin and Northam
More social, emotional, health and wellbeing support services for Indigenous Australians in Narrogin and Northam.
Coalition Government investing $731,036 for Kaata-Koorliny Employment and Enterprise Development Aboriginal Corporation to roll out these additional support measures.
Programs are part of the Coalition Government's $5 billion Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS).
Kaata-Koorliny Employment and Enterprise Development Aboriginal Corporation will be able to provide additional case management services in Narrogin and Northam, thanks to a $731,036 community investment from the Coalition Government.
Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion, said that Kaata-Koorliny Employment and Enterprise Development Aboriginal Corporation (KEEDAC) would receive funding to provide case management services for vulnerable Indigenous families in each location through until 30 June 2019. These services will target families who are experiencing multiple and complex areas of need including systemic health, social and emotional vulnerability which is impacting adversely on family and social function.
"Improving the safety of Indigenous families and communities is one of the highest priorities for the Coalition Government – and this investment will enable the Kaata-Koorliny Employment and Enterprise Development Aboriginal Corporation to provide additional support to people who need it the most," Minister Scullion said.
Member for O'Connor Rick Wilson said that through the Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS), the Government was providing targeted investment to those working on the ground to make a difference in the lives of First Australians.
"This project is a great example of the Coalition working with Indigenous Australians to improve outcomes for First Australians living in Narrogin and Northam," Mr Wilson said.
KEEDAC acting CEO Dennis Ramsay said: "KEEDAC would like to thank the Federal Government for their ongoing support. As an Aboriginal organisation with a dedicated and skilled Aboriginal workforce, KEEDAC is in the unique position to deliver a culturally sensitive and effective service in both Narrogin and Northam, while working closely with other services, making sure our communities' needs are met in the most effective and culturally appropriate ways."
The Kaata-Koorliny Employment and Enterprise Development Aboriginal Corporation project is one of 43 recently funded under the IAS. Services have been funded to provide intensive support to Indigenous people most affected in the following areas: alcohol and drugs, domestic violence, mental health and wellbeing, and youth offending.
Existing service providers will share $18,019,301 in Government funding through until 30 June 2019 to transition from the Indigenous Community Links programme to new place-based, intensive support services that address specific safety and wellbeing needs. A further $4,239,664 will be provided until 30 June 2019 for new services in areas where a safety and wellbeing service gap has been identified.
The final year of funding is dependent on the projects providing strong outcomes for their clients.
Service providers will be asked to collect service data to assess the impact of the service, to better understand what works to overcome Indigenous disadvantage and contribute to the evidence base.

Q: ImageView will not show up In OnCreate:
svMaster = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scroller);     //Only layout in XML file
    svMaster.setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled(false);
    Display display = ((WindowManager)getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
    height = display.getHeight();

...
initializeGUI();
svMaster.removeAllViews();
svMaster.addView(llMaster);

In initializeGUI():
llMaster = new LinearLayout(this);         //Only direct child of scrollview
LinearLayout llFirstScreen = new LinearLayout(this);  //First layout added to llMaster;
                                                      //It's size is that of one screen
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lpMaster = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams
            (LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);

LinearLayout.LayoutParams lpFirstScreen = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams
            (LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, height);

    llMaster.setLayoutParams(lpMaster);
    llMaster.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

    llFirstScreen.setLayoutParams(lpFirstScreen);
    llFirstScreen.setBackgroundResource(R.color.blue2);
    llFirstScreen.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

Here's my code pertaining to the ImageView:
ImageView ivWeather = new ImageView(this);

LinearLayout.LayoutParams ivWeatherParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams
            (Scale(80), Scale(80);

ivWeather.setImageResource(R.drawable.sunny);
Log.d("ImageView loading?", "I hope so");
ivWeather.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
ivWeather.setLayoutParams(ivWeatherParams);
ivWeather.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);      //This is code I tried
ivWeather.setFocusable(true);               //when it wouldn't show up
ivWeather.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);    //...
ivWeather.invalidate();                     //...

...
llFirstScreen.addView(ivWeather);
Log.d("ImageView loading?", "I hope so");
llMaster.addView(llFirstScreen);

...
I have added TextViews with no problem to llFirstScreen, and I am wondering why ImageView
won't show up. I tried even adjusting llFirstScreen's height to WRAP_CONTENT instead of the screen's height. All that did was shrink the layout to the two TextViews. It's as if it never added the ImageView. The Logs I put in check out, so I know the code is running.
Am I missing anything?

A: Have you tried changing your LinearLayout.LayoutParams from Scale(80), Scale(80) to something like LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT or something? I've never seen Scale(int) used. If that is a custom method can you post it?

By the 1870s the American conquest of the West was nearly complete. In one decade, with Native Americans effectively confined to reservations, some four-and-a-half million new settlers would arrive to stake their claim to the future. Pap Singleton, an ex-slave from Tennessee, became the era's "Black Moses," leading his people to the free soil of Kansas. A frail New York politician transformed himself into a rugged North Dakota rancher, and eventually, president of the United States. And as Americans tried to "tame" the West, the nation's greatest showman, Buffalo Bill Cody, instead offered adoring crowds his enthusiastic version of a "Wild West"--Heroic, glorious, romantic, and most of all, mythic.

If you are out riding the trails for any length of time it's important to have a few things along in case you need something or get into a bit of trouble. A few things we always take along are a First Aid Kit, a Tow Strap, Rain Gear, Large Tarp & Bungee Cords, a Tool Bag, Cooler, Water and a few other things like a chair to sit on when you have lunch. It's good to have somewhere to stash all this gear.
When we first started riding ATV's in 2008 we bought some Trail Bags to put on our machines. They worked good and kept our gear pretty clean and dry. If you have an ATV and don't have a trail bag you may want to consider getting one.
When we bought our Side by Side with the utility bed it meant that we could take more gear, right? So we bought a bigger trail bag and added some folding camp chairs to sit on when we stopped for lunch. However, folding camp chairs didn't exactly fit in our trail bag. So we wrapped everything up like a birthday present in a plastic tarp, secured it with bungee cords and threw a cargo net over the bundle. That worked okay. The down side was that when you unwrapped everything to get the chairs and the lunch out, BAM!@#, dust went all over everything. And if it rained at all it got damp inside the tarp. And a side by side with a utility bed really accumulates dust inside the bed and doesn't blow off like it does on an ATV. Now you might me thinking. "So what's the big deal? You're ATVing and its dirty out there." And you are right, but when I get home I would much rather clean one thing (the cargo bag) instead of the 20 things that are inside. But that's just me.
This bag is 59" wide, 34" deep and 18" high. It's big enough to fill the utility bed on my side by side and spacious enough to put a lot of gear in it. It has 21 cubic feet of storage capacity. It has welded seams, a heavy duty zipper and a fold down lip with Velcro connectors to keep it down. It's made from thick 500 x 500 denier, UV-resistant vinyl.
Now that being said your needs may be different than mine. I'm kind of a "Being Prepared" freak so I take a lot of gear so I need a big bag. You may not need a big bag this big for your application. If you search "Vinyl Cargo Bags" on Amazon there will be a lot of choices for you to pick from.
Not all side by sides have a utility bed. Machines like the CanAM Maverick, Polaris Razor and similar models have small cargo decks or bays. You should be able to find something that will work.
You might be wondering, "What if I buy one these bags and it gets a hole in it?" No problem. Just have one of these repair kits on hand. I got it at Amazon. They work great. However, theses bags are very durable and I seriously doubt that you will have any trouble with holes for a long time, unless you poke it with something real sharp.
If you are looking to take along some gear on your side by side then I would highly recommend that you check into one of these cargo bags. They work real well and I am confident that you will be happy with the results.


The Government's Housing Minister, Kit Malthouse, was in the West of England earlier today (31 January) to see where new homes are being built, or are planned.
He visited Bath, North East Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire, including development sites at Bath Riverside, the Bristol Temple Meads to Keynsham corridor (part of the region's bid into the Government's Housing Infrastructure Fund), Harry Stoke and Elderberry Walk.
He met Regional Mayor, Tim Bowles and the members of the West of England Combined Authority – Cllr Tim Warren, Leader of Bath & North East Somerset Council, Cllr Charles Gerrish, Cabinet Member for Finance and Efficiency, Bath & North East Somerset Council, Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, and Cllr Toby Savage, Leader of South Gloucestershire Council – to discuss the need for further government support for new homes. Cllr Nigel Ashton, Leader of North Somerset Council also attended.
West of England Mayor, Tim Bowles, said: "It was good to meet the Housing Minister and show him some of the sites where we are building or planning to build new homes. It was a great opportunity to promote our region's growing reputation for innovative, inclusive, green and sustainable housing developments.
"The Combined Authority is working closely with the Government to secure further investment for new homes in the West of England. We know that we need more homes, to buy and rent – homes where they are needed at prices people can afford.
The West of England – covering Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset – is a high housing demand area. Across the region, the average house prices are more than eight times average incomes, with Bath more than ten times the average income.
The West of England Combined Authority is committed to securing an increase in housing delivery and a strengthened, long-term partnership with the Government and Homes England, working with North Somerset, to develop a housing deal for the West of England.

Former Angels employee indicted in connection with death of Tyler Skaggs
In a May 7, 2014 file photo, Angels director of communications Eric Kay is shown prior to a game against the Yankees at Angel Stadium. Kay, a 24-year employee of the Angels' PR department, told the Drug Enforcement Agency he had provided opioids to Skaggs and used them with the pitcher for years, according to an ESPN report Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019. Kay reportedly watched as Skaggs snorted three lines of crushed pills in his hotel room in Texas, on the night before he was found dead. (Photo by Keith Birmingham/MediaNews Group)
PUBLISHED: October 16, 2020 at 10:41 a.m. | UPDATED: October 16, 2020 at 4:13 p.m.
Former Angels employee Eric Kay has been indicted on two counts of federal drug crimes in connection to the death of Tyler Skaggs last year.
The indictment charges Kay with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance containing fentanyl, and also with distribution of a controlled substance containing fentanyl resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
The second charge carries a potential sentence of 20 years to life in federal prison.
The indictment was filed on Friday morning in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
Skaggs was found dead in his Texas hotel room on July 1, 2019, and an autopsy later revealed fentanyl and oxycodone in his system. Fentanyl is a dangerous opioid 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Kay, who had worked for more than 20 years in the team's public relations department, is charged with supplying the dangerous opioids to Skaggs. According to the indictment, Kay "and others" had been supplying the drugs "beginning in or before 2017."
There was no immediate comment from Kay's Orange County attorney, Michael Molfetta.
Kay has not worked for the Angels since last year.
In August, Kay was charged in connection to the death, and he surrendered to authorities in Texas. Since then, Kay and federal authorities had delayed the proceedings twice to pursue plea agreements, according to court documents.
At the time of the charge in August, U.S. Attorney Nealy Cox said in a statement that the charges against Kay should serve as a warning to the dangers of fentanyl.
"Tyler Skaggs' overdose – coming, as it did, in the midst of an ascendant baseball career – should be a wake-up call: No one is immune from this deadly drug, whether sold as a powder or hidden inside an innocuous-looking tablet," Cox said. "Suppressing the spread of fentanyl is a priority for the Department of Justice."
The complaint accompanies the charged detailed phone records of apparent drug transactions between Kay and Skaggs. There was also evidence of Kay meeting Skaggs in his hotel room the night before he was found dead.
The Angels were staying in Southlake, Texas, a Dallas suburb, on the eve of a series against the Texas Rangers.
The Angels have denied that anyone in management with the organization was aware of Kay's alleged drug distribution or Skaggs' use.
Skaggs' family has retained Texas lawyer Rusty Hardin. They could sue the Angels for wrongful death, but they have been waiting for the criminal process to unfold before beginning a civil action.

1955 Big Room included into the tour, electric light installed.
1982 Bill Vananda bought out Myers and became the sole owner of Tuckaleechee Caverns.
Tuckaleechee Caverns was developed and opened to the public by Bill Vananda and Harry Myers. The two locals developed the cave through their own hand labour. First tours were held with Coleman lanterns, but soon electric light was installed.
The cave is famous for its speleothems, which are called "cave onyx" in the area. In the biggest hall, which is 55m long, 33m wide and up to 22m high, the stalagmites are so called plate stack stalagmites aka palm trunc stalagmites. Locally they are called totem poles.
The natural entrance of the cave lies at the foot of Little Mountain in Dry Valley. It was discovered by lumbermen, which first explored it using pine torches and kerosene lamps. The story of Red Indians discovering the cave and using it as a hideout and shelter seems to be a sort of local legend.
The cave has three different cave rivers, which merge in the cave and emerge about 1km away in Dunn Spring.

Top 15 Films of the 2010s (so far)
We're a few months past the halfway point of the 2010s, and I thought it'd be fun to take a look back over the past five years and highlight which films I've loved the most. It's funny, while I typically remember 2010 as a weak year for films, after drafting this list, that's clearly not the case. Most of these movies are about pain. Others are about love. Few, but some, are just plain damn fun.
In Character: Tom Noonan
We all know Tom Noonan. Whether he's masked by monster make-up, shadowing Philip Seymour Hoffman, pulling a cameo in a Michael Mann flick, or terrorizing young women, Tom Noonan is a character actor whose face is impossible to forget. His career is full of such excellent choices. Large roles in tiny films, or tiny roles in large films, Noonan always delivers with his unique brand of restraint. I just love watching this guy work.
Top 10 R-Rated Films Every Kid Should See
Two things to make very clear about this post: I don't have children and I have a very liberal attitude about kids watching mature movies. My parents let me watch whatever I wanted by the time I was 10 years old, but I was different. When other kids were talking about how big that actresses boobs were or how awesome it was to watch that guy's head explode, I was trying to figure out why the director chose to move the camera that specific way, or why they held that shot for that long. Movies were my education in so many ways, and I'm glad I was exposed to them at such an early age.
And while all kids are different, with different standards and sensitivities, I truly believe most children would benefit from watching the movies below. All these films have something profound to offer, including potentially poignant conversations with parents. I hope you appreciate my picks, many of which inspired great conversations with my own parents when I was young. And do feel free to share your choices as well.
Wild Tales
You're on a plane. Minding your own business, flipping through a magazine. A man sitting next to you strikes up a conversation. You make idle talk – "Business or pleasure?" – those sorts of things. He tells you what he does for a living, and through this bit of information, you both soon realize that you have an acquaintance in common. You used to date someone who this man offended a long time ago. How odd. The conversation continues, and a woman sitting close by chimes in. She knows this acquaintance as well. So does the dweeb in the back of the plane. So does… seemingly everyone on the plane. What's going on and where are we going? And how in the ever loving hell did we get here?
In Character: John Doman
If you've immersed yourself in pop culture over the past 15 years (particularly in television), then you're undoubtedly aware of John Doman and his effortless command. Seriously, few modern performers possess an overall demeanor more intimidating than John Doman. This guy has the tough-as-balls, perpetual hardass persona down pat. When John Doman shows up, you know trouble is close by, and I have yet to grow tired of it.
Top 10 Janusz Kaminski Films
If you've seen a film directed by Steven Spielberg in the past 18 years, then you're familiar with Janusz Kaminski's cinematography. Kaminski has lensed every live-action Spielberg film since Schinder's List, netting six Oscar nominations and two wins in the process. Best known for his use of stark shadows, harsh white light, and interior fog, Kaminski is a master of atmosphere. The man knows how to put us in the world of a film as well as the best of them.
In Character: Laura Linney
Laura Linney is one of the best, most dependable performers in the business. Her career has been repeatedly lauded on film, television and the stage, and, thankfully, has no signs of slowing down. Linney is the type of actress you see a movie for. No matter what it is. You may not fully like the final product, but you know that the simple fact of her being in the film will automatically make it worth it.


The bacterial flagellum is a self-assembling filament, which bacteria use for swimming. It is built from tens of thousands of flagellin monomers in a self-assembly process that involves translocation of the monomers through the flagellar interior, a channel, to the growing tip. Flagellum monomers are pumped into the filament at the base, move unfolded along the channel and then bind to the tip of the filament, thereby extending the growing flagellum. The flagellin translocation process, due to the flagellum maximum length of 20 m, is an extreme example of protein transport through channels. Here, we derive a model for flagellin transport through the long confining channel, testing the key assumptions of the model through molecular dynamics simulations that also furnish system parameters needed for quantitative description. Together, mathematical model and molecular dynamics simulations explain why the growth rate of flagellar filaments decays exponentially with filament length and why flagellum growth ceases at a certain maximum length.

Sophie is surprised that she did not think of the message as an anagram because her grandfather loved anagrams. Sophie decides her grandfather must have left another message for her at the Mona Lisa. Langdon agrees to meet her at the U.S. Embassy. As Langdon leaves, he thinks about Saunière's request that Sophie find him. Langdon knows Saunière must have thought he could be helpful for something besides unscrabling an anagram. As Langdon thinks about Saunière's career and interests, he realizes he must go back to Sophie and help her--there is more to the mystery than she thinks. Langdon rushes back inside the Louvre.
Silas sits in the church and gazes at the Rose Line, which crosses the width of the church. This is where he was told by the men he murdered that he could find the keystone. At the same time, Aringarosa lands in Rome. He is prepared to collect twenty-million euro.
Langdon and Sophie reunite at the painting. Langdon asks Sophie if the letters "P.S." from Saunière's message mean anything else to her; he asks if she has seen them somewhere before. She is startled by the question because she does remember seeing them on an intricate key she uncovered in her grandfather's bedroom. Her grandfather told her she must learn to respect his privacy. He told her the letters were her secret initials. From then on, he called her Princess Sophie. Langdon tells Sophie that he believes her grandfather was a member of a secret pagan cult called the Priory of Sion, which has held many famous members throughout its history. Meanwhile, Fache is infuriated as he finds the bar of soap in the truck he believed was transporting Langdon.
Sister Sandrine secretly watches as Silas looks for something with which to break the church's tiled floor. She realizes that Silas is not who he claims to be. His presence is a call of distress from the brotherhood. She must act quickly.
Fache calls the U.S. Embassy and learns that messages are no longer retrieved with an access code. Fache remembers that Langdon used his cell phone to place the call and redials the number. Fache hears the message Sophie left for Langdon.
These chapters begin the rising action portion of the plot. The rising action details the battle between the protagonists and antagonist until the climax is reached. During this section a series of turning points will occur in which important information will become apparent and furthering forces and deterring forces with aid or delay the protagonists in their final goals.
In this section we also begin to learn that Jacques Saunière is a master of double entendres. Sophie immediately thought "P.S." meant Princess Sophie, the nickname her grandfather gave her as a child. When Langdon asks if it could mean something else, they realize it also means "Priory of Sion," the secret pagan society to which her grandfather belonged. The use of double entendres will become an important pattern with Saunière's clues throughout the novel.

Season's Greetings From Our President
A little over half way through WWII, Winston Churchill famously said "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." As then, the world has been in the grip of turmoil with victories, defeats, and glimmers of hope that the end was in sight. And while there are differences in the challenges the world faced then and now, there are also similarities. The world continues to turn with skinned knees and first bike rides, new homes and new babies, weddings and anniversaries, and the holiday season that begins with thanks and ends with gratitude.
I would like to begin by thanking our Members who took the time to complete the Annual Member Survey and provide us with your feedback. Your input is crucial to maintaining smooth operations and we have made it a priority to address your requests. If you have feedback outside of the survey period, we are always available to hear your thoughts via Customer Service.
As life slowly returned to a "new normal," we at Navy Mutual found our footing in a new hybrid work environment. After celebrating the Fourth of July, we reopened our headquarters, with many of our newest employees meeting their coworkers in person for the first time since being hired. An outdoor barbeque gave us all time to reconnect safely before turning our eyes towards closing out the second half of the year.
One of our greatest accomplishments of 2021 was bringing Navy Mutual to another location in Virginia: Virginia Beach. We opened our new office on our 142nd birthday, complete with cake and speeches. Our representatives take walk-ins and scheduled appointments, and we're always available by phone. If you're local to the Virginia Beach area, we would love for you to come say hi.
In addition to providing local representation to a large military population, we also made smaller service efforts throughout the year. We sponsored an episode of "Military Makeover" and helped a two-veteran family achieve a home renovation in thanks for their service. We regularly donate meals to families staying in Fisher Houses near our nation's capital. We continue to support Wreaths Across America, with plans to volunteer for the event on December 18 at Arlington National Cemetery.
I would also like to take a moment as I end to share our appreciation and gratitude for our Members. We wouldn't be who we are without all of you and we will be here, one phone call away, ready to serve whenever you need us.
I hope the holiday season and the quiet of winter brings you moments of happiness and peace with your loved ones.
It remains an honor to serve.
Rear Admiral Brian E. Luther, USN (Ret.)

Health Technologies in Practice: Between the home and the clinic

Wed, 19 June 2019, 12:30 – 13:30 BST
St Mary's Church
Bramall Lane
S10 2TU
S2 4QZ
Symposium summary:
There has been an explosion in markets for digital and wearable technologies such as Fitbit and health apps. At the same time, and to some extent prefiguring this, there has been a growth in consumer markets for what might be thought of as more clinically orientated self-monitoring devices. Products that were seen as the preserve of clinicians, such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose or blood oxygen monitors, are now widely available to buy. It is claimed that self-monitoring could transform healthcare, promoting self-care, improving health and saving costs. The provenance of such claims can be traced through previous innovations such as ehealth, telecare and telehealth. Yet, as with previous innovations, self-monitoring raises important questions about the distribution of responsibilities for health and care, the spaces and relationships involved, the role of health professionals and commercial actors, and the production, distribution and control of knowledge. We might also ask how we come to understand self-monitoring, and the different methods for approaching this from a social science perspective.
The symposium is part of a Leverhulme Trust Funded Research Project on 'Knowledge, Care and the Practices of Self-Monitoring'. Focusing on health technologies in practice, the project aimed to understand how and why people self-monitor and to consider how this relates to knowledge, expertise and care. Presentations at the symposium will relate to self-monitoring and other everyday health technologies to consider 'health technologies in practice' from different perspectives and very different methodologies. The symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, with interests in STS, medical sociology, anthropology, disability studies, media studies and cultural studies.
Lunch will be provided on both days of the symposium. There is no charge to attend, but attendees will need to have registered on Eventbrite.

Surface Water–Groundwater Connection at the Los Alamos Canyon Weir Site: Part 2. Modeling of Tracer Test Results

Field observations of bromide transport in the unsaturated zone are used to constrain simulations that provide estimates of bulk porosity and permeability for the Cerros del Rio. The Cerros del Rio basalt is of particular interest because it underlies many of the potential waste sites at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. A highly simplified model is able to capture the general behavior of the breakthrough data. The simplifying assumption is that the basalt can be modeled as a homogeneous continuum with high permeability and low porosity. We estimate that the permeability of the bulk rock is 10−11 to 10−12 m2, whereas the porosity is estimated to lie between 0.001 and 0.01. The porosity estimates from this study are particularly useful for kilometer-scale simulations that include flow and transport through the Cerros del Rio basalt because estimates based on other methods, such as core testing, are highly scale dependent and should not be extrapolated to larger scales. Although this model does not include the complex physics of flow in the fractured basalt, it is useful for simulations on the kilometer scale that require averaging of rock properties and optimization of computational speed. The porosity and permeability values obtained from this analysis will help to weight probability distributions used in the kilometer-scale simulations of contaminant transport.
